So I just needed to share something that happened yesterday while I was diving:
At a depth of about twelve meters in the distance I saw coral tumbling down the wall, my first thought was there must be divers up ahead, but as I approached I could not see anything but lots and lots of Octopus Ink which had been sprayed everywhere.
About thirty seconds later I look up and see the largest Yellow Fin Tuna I have ever seen on a Reef(or anywhere except on TV) approaching me head on. I had this view for approx 2 seconds before he suddenly veered off to his right and passed within 1 & 1/2 meters from me. IT Was the first time in 32 years of SCUBA Diving that I was approached by anything (other than sharks, Mantas, a couple of Goliath Groupers) that was that large. IT was really thrilling... Unfortunately I dont have Pics and I dont think I would have had time to take one anyway even if I would have been carrying my camera.
I estimate it was probablly in the 1.7 to 2 Meter range... I hope I dont have to wait another 32 years for this to happen again...
Anyway just had to share
